    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    Hi Sarge I love peep sights, easy to use and no stupid marks. One of the world's best rifles in a few ways, is the SKS. It shoots 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards new out of the box, AND after you back over it with the truck. Later

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi Atticus I agree completely with you and Mr. Cooper, however I was questioning the use of a .410 shotgun for shooting long fat edible (somewhat) snakes. I think that a .410 would ruin too much meat, and I sure ain't gonna catch the damn things by hand. Well, not until I've had too much beer...

    Show us your Guns!

    Hi Excuse the weird question, but I know Rattlesnake is a food group in Texas. Is Cotton-mouth a food group in Florida? If so, you night want to try the whole ten shot .22LR revolver with those baby shotgun rounds in it. Cotton-mouths tend to mean though, and being a water snake, they...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Hi Edward I agree that the whole "against anything different" wasn't great by any means, but that element in small town America is still very prevalent and helpful. Helpful in the sense that the real phobia is more "we take care of our own" as opposed to "we're against anything different"...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    HI Bob I'll get it as soon as I can. My capability holding the camera myself isn't too great. I like the way the hat looks, but my 24 year old son doesn't like it for some reason. I was in Central Illinois over Xmas, but didn't get out much. I DID make it to the Caddyshack in exciting...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    3 inch brim, 5.75 inch open crown, I think the ribbon is an inch. The model(s) for the hat are in the Campaign hats section I originally was going to get a double layer of felt behind a couple of grommets for a stampede string, but since the hat was dressier than originally planned I didn't do...

    tonyb.....hatter and a gentleman

    Hi I've been wearing my new hat quite a bit. I'll post a couple more pictures, but I don't have a head shot yet. My Mom made several attempts while back in Illinois over Xmas, but my late Dad was the family photographer. Tony suggested the initials and the year of my birth (1961MJS)...

    BUCKAROO BONANZA! - The Hats that Major Mike Moore Makes

    Hi I finally got a new computer and am able to post pictures. I ordered this hat from Mike Moore in the early summer and wore it a lot during the summer and fall. It's a 100% bunny fur felt hat. The felt is of cowboy hat thickness. I like it a lot and wear it quite a bit even in the winter...

    Pipe Smokers Unite!

    Hi So, what was wrong with the Durbar? Just curious. I have found that some of the best smelling pipe tobacco in the store, smells like a teenage boy's sweat socks while burning. Later

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Better hurry, I'm Boeing and we're leaving..... The way things look TODAY, I could have just stopped by TonyB's and bought the hat in a few months. Later

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Hi Sam I tend to buy a new hat with the crease already in it. I have two felts with a center dent (Crystal Skull), one with a Tear drop, and one with an in-between crease I borrowed from the Campaign Hat thread. I think that the center dent looks better / more old-timey than the tear drop I...

    Men who can cook.

    Sooo, what is this 'clean as you go' approach you speak of? It sounds painful. I don't wanna do it. I cook food I like, it's difficult to cook food(s) that you don't like. You add something, taste it, and it tastes bad... Later

    Depression Era Meals

    Hi Lizzie One of the engineers I work with swipes ketchup from McDonald's and a little hot sauce from Taco Bell to make spicy Hoover Tomato Soup. Never married, no kids, 67 year old engineer and cheaper than anybody I know. Later

    What do our hats really say about us, and more importantly, are they right?

    Hi My first fully brimmed hat was purchased about 2003 because I had gone to a baseball game, wearing a baseball cap, and the back of my ears peeled off. O-F-F OFF. I was searching for safari jackets and found this website. I know own three cowboy hats, a Rough rider hat, three felt fedoras...

    Introducing both "Journeyman" and "Hitchhiker"

    Hi Art I think that the addition of a nutria / bunny fur felt hat to your line would be a great addition. PERSONALLY I think that a 1 inch ribbon would look good on a tough outdoors hat. If you get the ribbon too thin, you're just making a higher quality Campdraft. You might check the...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I don't Bowlerman. The color looks kinda good with your beard. On the other hand, I couldn't wear a color named eggplant in anything, even underwear. It's a little like the black cherry, but lighter. Ain't on my list though either. Later Happy New Year etc.

    Choosing the Correct Hat for your Body Type

    Unfortunately, not all brick and mortar stores are really helpful. One store I went to (not Jack's in Wichita) would have sold me anything I'd pay for. Later y'all
